Really fun!
I didn't expect to love it as much as I did! quick fun game with great humor and two endings! love it!
The game feels good to move, to interact, the animations and designs are really well made, and is just a short game to play and have fun :D
Roles are not equal in time contribution, and this was a project on the side. Keep comments like this to yourself, maybe.
Fair
bruh
I did not know what to expect when I booted up the game, but this surely made my day. What a smooth (but weird) experience this was!
Super fun concept and well executed! The devs did a great job on this especially with the game jam context. Charming aesthetics as well.
well made! ı really loved that game! that was really fun to experience. also the dialogues were so funny :)
Very well made!
I bait this couldn't be any more better! This is fin-tastic!
lmao that was weird
No Commentary Full Playthrough BOTH ENDINGS
This game was very strange... and very fun. Makes me want to live under the sea... cue Sebastian. Great work. Can't wait to see what you make next!
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think there is a game created for this jam that is as colorful, creative, and quirky as this! This game has a big personality and was fun to play. I like the story book opening and ending which separated itself from the main gameplay aesthetic. Gameplay begins 20:56 **

Ending 2.
Good game.
Made a video
This was fun, this was just pure silly which is something I think more games need. I hope to see more absurd games or whatever other ideas you have.
Had much fun playing it, I love the art style the writing and the cute Doggie. Would love to see more games from you.
Also what have u used for dialoge, I would guess Dialogic.
Made my own system as my needs were simpler than the complexity Dialogic offers - planning on making a postmortem vid in the next couple weeks discussing aspects like this, would probably recommend Dialogic in most cases though!
Would love to see a video of u talking about this Game.
This game is just as absurd and enjoyable as it comes off as! Really had a blast with this. I posted a review on the jam submission page, and made a playthrough video below:
Is there a fullscreen option?
